| Speaker cables with good timbre Cardas is well known for their copper quality. I recently purchased a pair of Clear Sky X4 speaker cables. They are remarkably balanced with no particular emphasis on any frequency range. | |
| Sub suggestions please I know the general recommendation is two subs are better, but that wasn't my experience. I started with a single SB1000 and liked it so much, I bought a second. I spent weeks trying to integrate the two, trying different locations and numerous DSP... | |
| Problems with lost Qobus Playlists? I experienced that during my free trial of Quboz. After reimporting them from Soundiz I have not had any losses. But Quboz has a poor interface and database. I often look for something under the artist name and can't find it unless I search for a ... | |

| Looking for my End Game Speaker ATC. Active or Passive. | |
| What is your top sexy song? Stray Cat Blues. The Rolling Stones | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Objectivity is generally in short supply around audio and music. It's all in our heads. But it doesn't seem hard to imagine that some speaker and amp combinations differ in how quickly the drivers respond to transients and how quickly a large diap... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix As a drummer, you know you can push the beat or play more relaxed and still be "on time". It's a feel thing. I notice it most on plucked strings. Acoustic guitar, mandolin, pizz strings. I think it's mostly about transient response on th... | |

| What exactly is PRaT??? I've always interpreted it as speed and clarity. The attack and decay of notes are distinct and on time. Some speakers excel at this. I'm less clear about what it means for electronics but I assume the electronics play a role in creating that. I... | |
| The Museum vs. Galleries I devote some afternoon time to music discovery. That might be new artists or new releases from familiar ones. If I don't find anything interesting in 30 minutes or so, I'll listen to Internet radio for a while. Nighttime is comfort time with musi... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I was exclusively into vintage gear until 3 years ago. My only tech retired and I decided to go modern. Except for my speakers. I love my JBL 4311s and built my new system around them. I'm still in the process but it's going well. The 4311s, like ... | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor Love Knofler. I just listened to One Deep River, Deluxe. | |
| Qobuz That happened to me while I was auditioning Quboz. Fortunately I had all my playlists saved in Amazon Music and was able to retransfer them. Quboz responded to my inquiry and said they could not restore them, and transferring was the only choice. ... | |
| How do you add remote control to a preamp, here's how. I run my actives into my passive. One preamp I can run wide open with no audible distortion and use the passive volume control. The other has a remote but has too much gain to run wide open without distortion. If I'm playing a complete album I run... |
